Hi All,
Thank you for all the hard work that goes into the thread:A.
I try to follow the list and fly each day but am not always able to catch up with the thread and dont want to 'butt in' so dont post that often.

You guys have helped to organise soo many households!!,

Best wishes to all,
H

And what is SOAADFA?

My guess...is that it's a ruder version of 'sit on your backside and do absolutely nothing'!. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree (has been known :rolleyes:) and someone will be along to correct me shortly! Welcome to the thread, by the way - you'll soon pick it up....

I'm in again this week. Won't post the list here - it's exactly as Pigpen has done it on page one (thanks Pigpen, Toots and Soappie!!)...will update tomorrow when it's complete (ha ha!).

Hope everyone is well - didn't really catch up on the previous thread - too long - so sending hugs to all.

Hopefully DD back to school tomorrow...
Take care

I'd like to know what one too

Never mind - answered before I posted

Ballerinca CAz.

SOAADFA I think it says Sit On Your AXXX And Do FA (just can think what the last two are .


Think I will post my list in my first post then add and edit from there then when/if I have finished list will post on thread as Mudbath suggested.

Haven't done this preciously as thought it maybe confusing but think it will may the thread seem shorter if more of us do it.

phizzimum

I'm in please! :j

just copied out tomorrow's list onto paper so that I'm not tempted on here till it's done! what a good idea about the emergency box. remember reading somewhere you could have an emergency rucksack that you could just grab and go in case you had to evacuate.

Well - since I can no longer see the carpet in any part of my house I think I'd better ask you lovley ladies for some help. Please may I join in?

I'll start small and aim for level ones but having said that all of tomorrows tasks look acheivable so I can only try.
